Orrin Hatch is an Idiot

In an interview segment with Paula Zahn (who keeps the hot sauce hot) last night (Oct 28, 2004) on CNN, Senator Orrin Hatch (quite the opposite) advanced the theory that the Iraqi military, perhaps foreseeing how the al Qaqaa munitions site would play into the American election in two years, might have removed the weapons but left the seals intact by going through the ventilation screens. He then praised Senator Feinstein (unclear, phone interview), also on the program, for her fair assertion that we have no clue what really happened to those 380 tons of high explosive.

While going on to dispense more partisan quackery, Sen. Hatch ignored that the fact that we have no clue as to the whereabouts of 250,000 tons of munitions, let alone 380 tons in a single, well-documented facility, is disturbing enough. But then again, no one counted on those crafty Republican Guardsmen going through the ventilation shafts, so as far as I am concerned, all bets are off on al Qaqaa.
